[OpenLayers-Users] GeoServer Proxy Extension OpenLayers

[justLearning]

Hi, 

I have downloaded the openLayers examples, and run them for example via,
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/OpenLayers-2.8/examples/getfeatureinfo-control.html   
... the page, openlayers, the data... it all works, but when I go to
identify a feature, the proxy.cgi script is spit back to me inside the
webpage.  Is this a python problem, or something mis-configured in geoserver
or ???

Thank You!!!
